Hal, you could always start your own.... Just not in the winter. Texans, in my experience, have no idea how to drive that one day a year they get snow.

Last time I was there, 15 car pile-up outside of Ft. Worth the one morning snow lasted more than an hour.

I actually own a web address for a con in Texas BIGcon.org

Perhaps it might be time to see if I can start to reach some feelers out and see if the waters and ready for a gaming con here. We have OwlCon and SpaceCity Con but I think this city could certainly handle something on a grander scale

Unfortunately the <insert anything that might not be considered mainstream*> scene in this country is rather limited.

Have a good time everyone.

@ScaleGraze, are you in Oz? I am considering a temporary visit and was checking out the scene. There seemed to be a number of cons in that area when I had a look. Wasn't there a PAX in Melbourne in July?

You may well be right, tbh I haven't really tried to venture out of my own gaming clique. And due to the explosion of all things geek in recent years (read more than 10) it's quite possible that things have changed.
It is a general rule however that anything that has a limited market audience generally doesn't do so well over here due to a smaller population spread over a ridiculous land mass.
I suppose my limited experience has lead me to just assume that this rule still applies as I continue to game within my small cluster of acquaintances.
The main thing I suppose I was frustrated by was that the majority of the lovely people I have come to know through the site are in or near the US or UK, and I'm jealous
But now that you begin to shine the bright light of reality into my den of geekdom I feel exposed and request that you let me shake my stick at the world in peace.
Unless you would like to join me, I have a fine collection of sticks down here if you'd like to see my collection

As I said I hope to be visiting your continent at some point soon and would love to compare stick collections if we are in the same neighbourhood
